Q: Passing an initialization list to a macro Why doesn't the commented out line in the following program compile?
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

#define F1(a) 1

int F2(vector<int>) { return 2; }

int main() {
    vector<int> v;
    v = vector<int>{1,2,3};

    cout << F1( v ) << endl;
    //The following line doesn't compile. The error is:
    //error: macro "F" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 1
    //cout << F1( vector<int>{1,2,3} ) << endl; // <- error!
    cout << F1( vector<int>({1,2,3}) ) << endl;
    cout << F1( (vector<int>{1,2,3}) ) << endl;

    cout << F2( v ) << endl;
    //The following line compiles fine
    cout << F2( vector<int>{1,2,3} ) << endl;
    cout << F2( vector<int>({1,2,3}) ) << endl;
    cout << F2( (vector<int>{1,2,3}) ) << endl;

    return 0;
}

A: The preprocessor does not know about {} initialisation. It sees the comma and thinks that's the start of a new macro argument. And then the next one. Only brackets () are things that it knows about.

[C++11: 16.3/11]: The sequence of preprocessing tokens bounded by the outside-most matching parentheses forms the list of arguments for the function-like macro. The individual arguments within the list are separated by comma preprocessing tokens, but comma preprocessing tokens between matching inner parentheses do not separate arguments. [..]

A: A macro is not a function. It interprets your input vector<int>{1,2,3} as 3 inputs, which are vector<int>{1,2 and 3}. You can change this by making it an expression (vector<int>{1,2,3}) (as you already did).
Everything in parantheses is an expression and vector<int>(...) is a (*special member-)function so the preprocessor sees it as one expression.

A: Another workaround is to transform your MACRO into a variadic MACRO
#define F1(...) 1

Or in a more general case; turn:
#define M(a) a

into this:
#define M(...) __VA_ARGS__

Say goodbye to southwest Sydney koala population
By Sue Arnold | 14 August 2019, 12:00pm | comments |
The future isn't looking any brighter for Sydney's koala population (Image via Flickr)
Despite the survival of the southwest Sydney koala population being critical, a major development threatens their lives, writes Sue Arnold.
SOME STORIES are hard to tell. Some are so loaded with questions over potential corruption and conflicts of interest that the mainstream media avoids any in-depth investigation. The looming extinction of around 1,000 koalas in southwest Sydney is a perfect example.
The politically-driven destruction of arguably the most important remaining healthy expanding population of koalas remaining in New South Wales demonstrates how governments conspire to confuse and remove public protest with legislation combined with nice-sounding policies. All designed to give green lights to developers to destroy Australia's wildlife heritage.
The development in question is the Greater Macarthur Growth Area, a massive urbanisation of southwest Sydney. Not only are koalas on the killing list, but the failures of Federal and State Government and councils to address the serious impending shortages of water to facilitate the urbanisation plans are nothing short of mind-blowing.
The NSW Government has released an interim plan for the Greater Macarthur Growth Area which incorporates land release precincts in Appin. Community members are encouraged to make a submission on the plans, which are available on the Department's website. https://t.co/fPCGeNCwB2
— Wollondilly Council (@wdillycouncil) November 20, 2018
But this is a story about koalas. Scientists say the southwest Sydney koalas are chlamydia free and their survival is critical.
However, these kinds of facts are of no concern to the Berejiklian Government.
Instead, with the help of the Greater Sydney Commission headed by Lucy Turnbull, the Government and developers focused on southwest Sydney as the next region to create a metropolis of three cities.
'People living here will be close to green corridors that contain parks, green cover and open space. Being active will be a way of life. The natural environment will flourish with koalas and other species in safe and growing populations through biodiversity protection and enhancement.
The interim Plan proposes 12 precincts combining urban renewal of existing communities and land release areas. About 18,000 new homes are proposed from Glenfeld to Macarthur along the rail corridor. The precincts of Menangle Park, Gilead and Appin could deliver around 40,000 homes.'
The Greater Macarthur Interim Plan focuses on Campbelltown (at June 2016, there were 3,379 dwellings in the precinct with an estimated population of 8,350 people), Camden, Wollondilly and beyond. These are rural areas where many people enjoy the beauty and tranquility of peaceful lives and community.
The Department of Planning and Environment rezoned 210 hectares of land at Mt Gilead from rural to low-density residential.
Reading the blurb about the Growth Area sounds like every prospective home owner's dream.
Macarthur Advertiser: Vast database on Campbelltown's koalas shared 🇦🇺 🗃 - https://t.co/ilw7elmpdu #wildlife #Australia
— Tara Calishain (@ResearchBuzz) August 12, 2019
Somehow or other, the koala population is supposed to survive, in spite of the Government's own admission on the Greater Macarthur website.
'In 2040, the Greater Macarthur Growth Area will be a highly connected and accessible urban region. It will support and be serviced by a thriving and diverse Campbelltown-Macarthur.
The Growth Area includes Cumberland Plain vegetation and is home to threatened species including the largest, disease-free koala population in Sydney.'
But wait, there's more for any prospective buyer who might be worried about how 1,000 koalas will survive the human invasion.
The now axed Office of Environment and Heritage comments reported in the plan state said:
At the heart of Greater Macarthur, a koala reserve will secure habitat and movement corridors.
OEH has identified habitat and movement corridors for koalas. A primary corridor runs along the Georges River, east of Appin Road and connects with Wilton and Douglas Park. This corridor will be protected by limiting development east of Appin Road.
Roads and Maritime Services will be displaying two Review of Environmental Factors (REFs) for the proposed upgrade of Appin Road between Ambarvale and Mt Gilead and proposed Appin Road safety improvement work between Mt Gilead and Appin.
Appin Road is a busy state road which caters to thousands of vehicles each day, including many trucks carrying freight between Wollongong and Sydney's south-western suburbs so it's exciting to see progress on these projects.
In a frantic effort to speed up the first stage of the developments, the Campbelltown Council Local Planning Panel was given the power to provide certain approvals for the Lendlease Mt Gilead project — now renamed Figtree Hill. An anticipated approval by the Federal Government came through in December, containing no adequate protections for koalas.
#koalas lose more habitat EVERY DAY @campbelltownnsw latest 2 approve more land clearing in southern sydney areas like mt gilead macarthur https://t.co/jDZgRmpkUn
— ANIMAL JUSTICE NSW (@AnimalNsw2015) July 30, 2019
The local communities have organised protests, put together major submissions which are based on well-researched information, given evidence at Council hearings, lobbied Councils, State and Federal Government members of Parliament.
To no avail.
Major conservation groups have come to inspect the sites but there's been no change in the Government's intentions nor any attempt to ensure koala corridors.
Objections to the developments were not able to made by conservation organisations who did not have an office in Campbelltown as the Lendlease Mt Gilead documents were not available online.
At the most recent Council meeting last week, Lendlease moved one step closer to allowing up to 10,000 homes to be built on Mount Gilead. Council will receive $37,000 for each lot up to 1,700 homes and $50,000 per lot up to 8,300 homes.
One community activist advised Independent Australia that the Council has also committed to helping a local sports group by giving them thousands of dollars.
However, wildlife corridors will not be in place across Appin Road and corridors on the property leading into houses, fencing and concrete barriers will trap koalas, wombats, possums, wallaroos, wallabies and echidnas.
The project is accessed by Appin Road.
As a result, Appin Road will have an extra 2,500 large trucks plus trailers with dogs travelling along Appin Road. All trucks have to travel through Appin or Campbelltown to get to the Lendlease Mt Gilead development.
Research proves over-development puts Macarthur koalas at risk:

Lendlease will be building and upgrading the road in an unusual arrangement with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS).
According to the RMS, Lendlease will carry out the construction of the project on behalf of Roads and Maritime Services. The commencement of the construction is subject to the completion of detailed design and the approvals.
RMS and Lendlease relationship — major conflicts of interest.
From the Department of Planning's website:
'As part of the land release, Lendlease has offered $45 million to upgrade Appin Road and the Government will also contribute $10 million to fund road improvements through the Housing Acceleration Fund.'
According to the HAF website:
The Housing Acceleration Fund (HAF) is a capital program under the Restart NSW fund. It supports State agencies, State-owned corporations and councils in delivering critical infrastructure to support new housing. The fund is administered by the Department of Planning and Environment, in conjunction with Infrastructure NSW and the NSW Treasury. Projects delivered under the fund are subject to prioritisation and project assurance processes to ensure value for money and timely delivery.
There have been five rounds of funding since 2012 with over $1 billion reserved. 14 major projects have been completed so far, delivering critical flood management, water supply, waste water and transport infrastructure to high growth areas of NSW. A quick check of the funding rounds do not indicate any grants to developers.
The HAF partners with key Government agencies, including Sydney Water, Hunter Water, Transport for NSW, Roads and Maritime Services, Landcom, local councils and developers to prioritise the delivery of water, power, road and transport infrastructure to support the development of communities in NSW.
However, the Appin Road construction is not part of the Lendlease Development Application, it is a separate commercial matter between RMS and Lendlease. No contracts available, questions as to who monitors, compliance and breaches. Lendlease will carry out the construction on behalf of the RMS 'to unlock new housing at Mt Gilead and improve safety and access for local residents and through traffic'.
Sydney's Koalas at Macarthur will be removed from the landscape by NSWRMS & @NSWPlanning, yet if Koala habitat/corridors prioritized first and they maybe able to thrive. https://t.co/IMTHAJEcJm via @ConversationEDU
— Total Enviro Centre (@totenviro) February 27, 2019
The only koala "protection" will be exclusion fences. The RMS and Lendlease have rejected community demands for overpasses and underpasses to be constructed before any development of the Mt Gilead site commences.
The Total Environment Centre, heavily engaged in opposition to the project, outlined its concerns:
Lendlease's "exclusion fencing" will run the length of Appin Road from Rosemeadow to Appin and will remove koalas from Lendlease's Gilead site west of Appin Road. It is literally enabling a "localized Koala extinction plan". The cost will likely be the long term survival of the Campbelltown chlamydia-free Koala colony, as:
It will accelerate contact with the Chlamydia infected Koalas further south in the Southern Highlands.
There will be no east-west escapes/exits for koalas in case of a large fire or other koala threats emanating from the Holsworthy Army Base.
It dramatically reduces the connectivity options for koala movements and funnels them into one super koala highway that could face any number of unforeseen blockages, obstacles, complications and certain to increase koala stressors, a cause of chlamydia.
Loss of genetic diversity
In bulldozing ahead with its juggernaut growth development 'at any cost plans', the Berejiklian Government has completely ignored the government's Koala Strategy, funded with $44 million taxpayer dollars. The primary recommendation of the Strategy is koala habitat conservation, followed by conservation through community action.
There's a raft of taxpayer-funded koala plans which the Government has conveniently dumped in the trash. They include the Save our Iconic Koala Project, a Koala Research Plan which recently allocated $1.92 million to research projects which ignore any conservation focus.
In November 2018, the Department of Planning and Environment failed to approve a Campbelltown Council Koala Plan of Management. No reasons were given.
A State Environment Planning Policy for koala habitat protection, known as SEPP 44 continues to be valid, but not mandatory, although a severely weakened draft is in train.
SEPP 44 encourages the inclusion of areas of core koala habitat in environment protection zones. There are no environment protection zones for koalas in the Mt Gilead and Greater MacArthur Interim Plans.
In the finalisation of Greater Macarthur 2040, there is a recommendation for 'improved pest and feral animal management to help reduce the risk of predation on koalas'.
Unfortunately, the definition of pest and feral management doesn't currently include politicians and anti-environmental governments.
The level of outrage over the Mt Gilead project and the Greater Macarthur Plan is intense and widespread.
Both the NSW and Federal Governments are deaf to the protests. Meantime, koalas keep dying.

Higgins Lake - Save the dam
The lake level debate at Higgins Lake
Published on August 7, 2012 By Draginol In Politics
Sometimes the local politics of Higgins Lake Michigan can be very frustrating. The latest example has to be the "save the dam" advocates.
Briefly, MSU in cooperation with the DNR are conducting a study of the effect the dam has on Higgins Lake. The dam is used to help control the lake water level.
Many decades ago, a dam was put on the lake to keep the water level high enough to use the lake effectively for for boats. As more people bought cottages on the lake, the demand to raise the water level ever higher grew.
The issue came to a head some years ago when the water level got so high that huge swaths of the shore, complete with their trees, began falling into the lake. Many people began to build sea walls or fortified their shorelines with stones which resulted in the erosion problem being exacerbated for everyone else.
To put things in perspective, our family has been on the lake for decades. We've lost nearly 40 feet of beach since the 1940s. Moreover, the erosion of the sea shore resulted in a massive increase in the amount of organic matter in the lake which caused an explosion in the number of snails in the lake which in turn helped bring "Swimmer's Itch" to the lake for the first time in its history.
As a result of all the erosion and the corresponding hassles it entails, people have begun to ask "what should the water level be?" One of the local foundations raised sufficient funds to get that question answered scientifically -- the creation of a study. The study will take a couple years to complete.
However, the study is violently opposed by those who fear that this will lead to the loss of the dam and convenient (for them) access to their boats. No one has actually seriously proposed getting rid of the dam. Personally, I do not want to see the dam go. I boat on this lake as well and if the water level was significantly lower than it is today, it would be quite a hassle to navigate the lake.
The problem is, no one really knows what lower lake levels would do. We can only speculate. Hence, the study: The study is the result of years of squabbling by the residents up there as to what the lake level should be kept at. Now, at least, there would be a study that outlines what the consequences of different water levels would be.
What's funny about this, at least from an "outsider", "city-slicker", point of view, is that those who are so up in arms about this are ultimately concerned about the ease of getting their boats out into the lake and having to be more careful in navigating certain areas. They don't seem to be aware that the north east shore of the lake is disappearing (high water + winds from the south west year after year). It's enough to make someone want to yell "Lazy hicks!" at those who put their convenience over someone else's property.
Every time I've seen this issue debated, it ultimately boils down to convenience -- for them. Never mind that other people are seeing their shores, trees, decks, porches, washed away or that all the organic material being washed into the lake is damaging the lake quality. No, it's about their bloody pontoon boats.
I don't have an opinion on what the lake level should be. If I were the weather god, I'd prefer much lower winter and spring levels and keep the current summer levels. It's the Spring storms that are destroying us.
I do know, however, that if one party is losing their trees and patios to the enriching water caused by an artificially high lake level and the other party just doesn't want to have to buy another 8 foot dock section or have to pay attention to rocks which party's concerns are valid and which party's concerns are unreasonable imo.

OK wow... here is a petition...
We don't want to find out what the non-biased, ecological solution is to the problem.
We want the study to show how we will keep the dam, and also have some representation from biased residents.

Yep, the study doesn't go over whether the dam should be kept or not. It is designed to find out the effect of different water levels has on the lake.
With that information, the residents can have a better idea of what the best lake level should be.
Jythier
Level 60. Obviously, the higher the level, the better it will be at killing orcs.
Jythier: You have problems with them also. . .
Lazyhick
It seems you may be the uninformed city slicker! To start, the legal natural level of the lake was established in 1926 after logging operations had ceased and the court determined what the "natural level" of the lake was prior to enlarging and dredging the cut river. The Study funded by DNR and HLF is titled "the Ecological and Hydrologic effect of the removal of the water control structure on Higgins Lake". (Dam)The DNR has a stated mission to remove all Dams in the Michigan, Higgins was considered to be "High hanging fruit", until the invitation for the study. Since the water control structure "improvement" in 2008 and a DEQ mandated expansion of the constant spill way by 60% from it's size since 1958, combined with the additional 3" Winter draw down (9" below normal level) has created water levels that rarely reach "normal level" and created issues with access at both State Parks and the Garish Marina, as well as road ends, which require dredging. The lower water levels also create earlier temperature increases which speeds the snails reproductive cycle (more swimmers itch earlier). Lower levels stimulate weed growth and more shore line vegetation, a more attractive environment for water fowl (the other half of the swimmers itch equation). The science in regard to bottom mapping and flow rates will be great, the water quality data will be useless as it will be taken both years with the lake below it's normal level.
In closing, When the State gives money for a study you better pay attention to the title of it, as that is their goal. Most of the "lazy Hicks" that reside in the vacation homes around the lake came from the City, which is where I would suggest you stay, or pontificate on a subject you may actually know something about! The group of "lazy hicks" that started the Save the Lake awareness campaign, consists of engineers, attorneys, biologists and most have decades at Higgins and have witnessed the bad ecological effects of the lower water levels since 2008. The State has pulled funding for many projects to work on the Dam system in the great lakes as they are low. Here we are at Higgins flushing water down the river, it makes no sense.

Don't use the words "natural level" when discussing a dam. Natural level would be whatever the level is without human intervention.
The Study funded by DNR and HLF is titled "the Ecological and Hydrologic effect of the removal of the water control structure on Higgins Lake". (Dam)The DNR has a stated mission to remove all Dams in the Michigan, Higgins was considered to be "High hanging fruit", until the invitation for the study.

So your argument thus far is that slightly lowering the water level makes getting to your boat slightly less convenient.
So on the one hand, we have an artificially high water level, maintained by a dam, that is eroding the shoreline, causing people to lose their beaches, trees, and property and on the other side...it's harder to get to your boat.
The lower water levels also create earliertemperature increases which speeds the snails reproductive cycle (more swimmers itch earlier). Lower levels stimulate weed growth and more shore line vegetation, a more attractive environment for water fowl (the other half of the swimmers itch equation). The science in regard to bottom mapping and flow rates will be great, the water quality data will be useless as it will be taken both years with the lake below it's normal level.
This is a mind boggling ignorant statement to make.
Do you understand that "raising the lake level" is a measurement taken at a single point at the lake? Because it appears you don't understand that.
When you "Raise the lake level", water...being water, doesn't simply rise vertically in place. It increases the volume of water in the lake. The lake isn't a pool. The shores are gradual slopes. When you increase the lake level, the water simply creeps up those slopes. Higher water levels, in a lake, increase the surface area.
The reason we have so many weeds, snails, and the rest is because the water has creeped up onto land that formerly were grasslands and forests. That's why there are stumps out 100+ feet in the water. The water "level" increased the area of the lake to cover land with plants, beaches, and trees.
Raising or lowering the lake level (as measured from the dam) won't change whether the shore is shallow or deep overall. For some residents, lower water levels will mean deeper water near their shore and for others it'll mean shallower.
For me, raising the water level (as measured at the dam) means a shallower off shore experience because the water will simply move further up what was once beech and woodlands.
In closing, When the State gives money for a study you better pay attention to the title of it, as that is their goal.
Their goal being to see what would happen without the dam? Ok.
Most of the "lazy Hicks" that reside in the vacation homes around the lake came from the City, which is where I would suggest you stay, or pontificate on a subject you may actually know something about!
Well, the post states that lazy hicks (that being you apparently) oppose the study because they fear that it'll result with the dam being removed because it'll lower water levels which, according to you will result in harder access to boats (which the original article mentioned) and what the main argument of the post was. That is, you oppose the study because you put your personal convenience (Getting to your pontoon boat) above the ecology of the lake or the integrity of other people's property.
You also added a false claim that lowering the level would result in more plants being in the water (which requires the reader to assume a lake is like a pool where raising "the water level at the dam" results in a vertical raising of the water in proportion to shore.
The group of "lazy hicks" that started the Save the Lake awareness campaign, consists of engineers, attorneys, biologists and most have decades at Higgins and have witnessed the bad ecological effects of the lower water levels since 2008. The State has pulled funding for many projects to work on the Dam system in the great lakes as they are low. Here we are at Higgins flushing water down the river, it makes no sense.
I doubt an engineer would suggest that lowering the lake water level at the dam would result in shallower water by lake shores.
I also doubt a biologist would describe water leaving a lake via a river to be "flushing water down the river"
Studying what the effects of dam removal (and thus lower water levels) doesn't hurt anyone. If you have a legitimate reason (one that doesn't involve waddling a bit further to your boat) to oppose lower water levels then put those forward.
Quoting Lazyhick,
It is not a dam it is a "lake level control structure" LLCS, the difference being a dam holds water at a unnatural level, a LLCS helps control the natural legal level.
No, it is that lowering the level has had more negative effects on the lake than positive.
and it's growing weeds near shore and in the water where there were none.
The level has been at or near legal natural level since 1926. The levels since modification of the LLCS 2007 have been lower than the preceeding 81 years.
As is yours. though your position leads me to believe your mind may be easily "boggled"
Lets move the gauge by you, close the gates and ignore it. After all if the water goes up it's shallower at your house.
I do indeed, a gauge at the south park wall. though year over year wave and tidal variations would become a constant and provide a USGS chart that you can view on their web site
When you "Raise the lake level", water...being water, doesn't simply rise vertically in place. It increases the volume of water in the lake. The lake isn't a pool. The shores are gradual slopes. When you increase the lake level, the water simply creeps up those slopes. Higher water levels, in a lake, increase the surface area
.Yes, to the size it was build around, based on oldest survey 1848 current legal level puts it within 1% of that size.
no kidding, and lowering them reduces hydraulic pressure, which holds back septic and other nutrient loading which would be held away from the lake, as opposed to leaching toward it.
or was it the glaciers that formed it?
Are we talking in the millions of years, or since man has accessed the lake?
Those are left over from when the lake was used for logging, which was also when the river was dredged and the 1st actual "dam" used to rise level and then be released to float logs down to the mills in Muskegon.
Then it shouldn't matter to you.
For me, raising the water level (as measured at the dam) means a shallower off shore experience because the water will simply move further up what was once beech and woodlands. B.S.
Nope the goal is to remove it. and if that were to happen we would never get it back. I don't believe it will be removed as it is an LLCS and not a dam. they will face 75% of the riparians that to keep it, and the levels the way they have been since 1926 or 1848.
Yet they have.
I have, and you don't care, you want the water lower to serve your interest and the majority be dammed! You get what you pay for and a paid for study entitled "effects of the removal of the water control structure at Higgins Lake" will provide you more ammo to waste time and money fighting your manufactured issue. We could be working on Swimmers itch, or any number of tasks.
Time will tell.

MCS, or Mobile Cloud Services, is Oracle's relatively new PaaS tool for provisioning your data to mobile devices or IoT devices. And actually, it's a pretty simple tool. MCS aims at simplifying the creation of mobile API's (especially REST API's) on existing or newly build web services. It delivers an enterprise Mobile Backend-as a-Service (MBaaS).
On top of that, mobile applications can be created. MCS supports natively build apps, hybrid apps or one of the no-code app development frameworks like MAX (Mobile Application Accelerator) or MAF (Mobile Application Framework).
On the last Oracle Community Forum I got the chance to work with it and I can show you some screens.
Oracle makes a distinction between service developers and mobile app developers. I'm not so sure if this are necessarily 2 different people, but it might create some overview in the tasks.
On logging in to MCS, a dashboard is presented where the mobile app developer has the choice of making a Mobile Backend, an API or a Connector. It's recommended to create these in that particular order.
You start with creating a Mobile Backend, which is nothing more than a group of server-side API's and other resources (like collections and roles) for your mobile apps of choice.
Once created, the developer can start adding API's, and collections. With collections the data stored in MCS's storage API can be accessed and manipulated.
Another task might be the registering of client applications, so that they are able to receive notifications and provide analytics to MCS.
Of course there are also SOAP connectors and ICS connectors (for Integrated Cloud Service).
On the other side, the mobile applications must communicate with MCS. Therefore, SDK's can be downloaded that provide authentication and create wrapper classes for the MCS platform API's.


After a bit of a hiatus, it's time again for the big February Secret Recipe Club reveal, and this month I had two blogs. Lucky me! So if you missed the Moist Fresh Strawberry Muffins, be sure and check those out too.
In the meantime, this wonderful recipe for Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes comes from Laura, over at Mother Would Know.
I had Laura's blog back in October, when we made her Banana Nut Bread which was SO good! We had made a list of to-try recipes from her blog, and have been slowly wittling away at it.
We still need to try her Lamb Meatballs, Glazed Apple Cider Loaf Cake and Easy Lemon Chiffon Mousse.
We chose her Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes this time, because we almost made them last time we had her blog. We were hosting a baby shower and needed something that would add some color to the table.
These suited our purpose nicely and were a big hit! Laura, they were SO good and we will be doing them again for sure. We made some mini ones with Cherry tomatoes and they worked out well. So cute!
Ready to make Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes?
Wash your tomatoes and hollow them out. You need to do this carefully or you can easily pierce the skin. Discard the insides.
Drain the juice out of the tomatoes.
In a large bowl, put the chopped hard boiled eggs, and tuna and mix. Add the chives, capers and mayonnaise and blend together. Taste test. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff each tomato with the tuna salad mixture. Have it mound slightly at the top. Garnish the tomatoes with chopped chives.
Refrigerate the stuffed tomatoes covered until ready to serve.
Serve cold within a few hours.
What a great idea for a shower!! Really perfect! I'm so glad you enjoyed Laura's blog (again!). Fantastic pick!!
These are adorable. I love tomato with my tuna, so stuffing the tuna salad into a tomato makes perfect sense. Yum.
I've got them bookmarked to make for one of our many food oriented gatherings. They would go over so well.
These are very similar to the ones my mom used to make! I love the idea of adding capers. Can't wait to try this version!
Love these tomatoes! This recipe sound like perfection.
Fantastically colorful. LOVE the cherry tom idea. Wonderful pick for SRC!


"The Channel islands of Jersey and Guernsey are setting up a diplomatic mission in Brussels for fear their representation to the European Union will be marginalised by a cash-strapped British government."
This is a seriously dangerous move. These islands have been protected and promoted by the City of London, via the British government that it influences, since even before the Suez crisis of 1956 which marked the inflection point at the end of Britain's formal empire.
"The diplomatic mission, which opens in September, marks the islands' first overseas representation and is a step towards taking control of international relations from Britain. It is also a rare example of the two statelets working together.
"It's an indication of a step towards greater autonomy and that's probably a recognition of the fact that the Channel Islands are becoming increasingly mature and capable of looking after themselves and running their own operations," Le Sueur said.
"If the Brussels mission proves successful, the islands may set up offices in Washington and elsewhere, said Le Sueur, whose post of chief minister is equivalent to prime minister."
You need to be aware that there is an increasingly strong undercurrent that suggests Jersey ought to be looking at full independence. That it is being promoted by the former Bailiff, Philip Bailhache, suggests that it is being treated seriously. I cannot speak for Guernsey, but would imagine the situation is similar there.
I for one am very worried by this, simply because government in Jersey is massively ineffective and undemocratic, and there are plenty of indicators that suggest corruption too.

For sure it's something simple but I dont have any ideas for it. Hope you'll help me with that :)

A: To my understand of your question I think this should help you :
    open.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

    public void handle(ActionEvent event) throws MalformedURLException  {
        FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
        fileChooser.setTitle("Open Resource File");

        File selectedFile = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);

       if (selectedFile != null) {
          //you can set your image to a Image view
          imageView.setImage(new Image(selectedFile.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm()));
          //or else you can reassign your image path to a string variable so that you can re-use that String variable in all over the class
          path = selectedFile.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm();
       }else {
        System.out.println("Error Selection");

Without doing Frank a disservice George has a much bigger fan base and was on the main stage.
It's hardly wasted time.
I am not a fan of Mr Ezra but the BBC have a limited amount of sets they can film and most of them were from about 2-3 acts in each day.
The BBC have been pretty good to Frank over the years with coverage but this year his set was too early.
I could start to rant on here about how the TV coverage of Glastonbury is as far from what Glastonbury is.
People sit at home and say 'Glastonbury was great' - 'did you go?' - 'no I saw it on TV'.

Pretty dissapointed the BBC haven't provided coverage of at least one song from the other stage.
On a positive note, there is a video of the duet with Billy Bragg for those who missed the radio interview on the Friday. Pretty awesome t-shirt too.

New plot. A slick editing would have made it a sharper movie as it's a bit slow in some parts.
Tovino has performed very well. Other than that just an average one time watch.
I don't generally watch Malayalam Movies but I decided on this one. Manu S Pillai is fantastic in the movie !

By Charles Haine
Aputure has expanded their Amaran lineup with punchier units that are little buddies to LightStorm heads.
The Aputure LightStorm lineup has been a popular series of affordable, punchy LED light units available in 120-, 300-, and 600-watt power ratings. The 300D was originally intended to go up against a 2K tungsten light, and while it doesn't quite give you that 2K tungsten punch, it was still a super versatile light unit, especially for the money.
Aputure is now rolling out some lights that initially look like they would be LightStorm units, but actually have the Amaran label, which more commonly shows up on Aputure's mass-market small panel LED lighting units. They are, unbelievably, even more affordable than LightStorm units of a similar price point.
So what are these new lights, and how are they different from the pricier LightStorm units?
The new Amaran units, the 100D, 100X, 200D, and 200X, are single-chip LED units designed to work with a reflector or a softbox to create a punchy light source and replace something like a 650K incandescent. As such you'll likely see some potential three-light kits of these units made for interview setups or film school checkout.
Available in two powers, 100 and 200 watts, they are also available in two flavors, D or X.
D stands for daylight, meaning it'll roughly match 6500° K, and X is for bi-color, giving you slightly less peak output, but the ability to shift between daylight and tungsten settings depending on what light you are trying to match. All the lights can dim from 0-100% and have built-in lighting effects.
The 200D comes in at around 1/4 the price of the 300D Mark II LightStorm, which is a light that was already affordable for the features available. But now you could build a three-light kit of 200D units for the price of a single 300D Mark II with money to spare for accessories like light stands and softboxes.
What are you giving up to save so much money, other than 100 watts of output?
The new Amaran units are smaller and integrate the controls into the head unit. This means instead of having a large control panel you can use to dim the light, you have to get to the head to make tweaks. This is rarely a problem since most lights have their controls on the head, but it's something to be aware of.
These lights are also fully compatible with Sidus Link, the app system launched by Aputure that gives you control at up to 300 feet away from the unit via smartphone or tablet, so the lack of a remote control panel is not an issue.
However, that panel with the LightStorm comes by default with a battery mount for V-mount batteries, and battery usage is one of the more popular options with LightStorm units. The ability to just bring along some V-mounts and shoot in the wilderness without cable power is a big plus on something like the 300D. With the Amaran unit, you'll need to buy a battery adapter for the unit as an extra cost.
If you don't think you'll use batteries much this isn't a big deal;, it really depends on your intended use. If you are doing a lot of interviews, you'll likely always have wall power available.

In addition to their smaller size, the Amaran units have two other big changes, getting rid of the yoke and getting rid of the active cooling fans. The yoke seems like a fair trade-off since the new under-mount tilt unit seems robust and like it will hold the lights and small accessories well.
The lack of active cooling fans is more interesting. While testing will be needed to see how passive cooling handles the new lights, we would be worried to do a hot weather shoot without fans. Maybe technology has progressed enough they stay cool on their own, but this is the biggest question mark for us as we look over the specs. If you generally work on a well air-conditioned stage or in cold weather climates, not a worry, but if you shoot a lot of indie projects in the summer in small apartments, we wonder about overheating. There are fins to help with cooling, but you still need air moving over those fins.
Overall these look like excellent products, especially for the price. While we love the "let's give you every feature you could want" design of the LightStorm units, sometimes it's nice to strip some features, like the battery mount, out and sell a more affordable unit to those who won't actually use every bell and whistle. We guess that 200D is going to come in the right place for price and performance and be a big hit.

"D stands for daylight, meaning it'll roughly match 6500° K
6500°!? Is that the kelvin they're going with? Glad I pre-ordered the X version then...

Doubtful. There is a D65 standard for monitors at 6500K, but video lighting is more likely to target 5600K as daylight. Although, when I got my gen1 300d it measured 5000K, still technically "daylight", camera and lighting manufacturers have historically considered 5600/5500K as photographic standard for daylight.
This is not accurate, the 100D and 200D are at ~5800K and ~5700K.

Each Fare must represent a single base cost and number of Transfers.
Fares can be created by clicking New Fare from the Fares Dashboard.
If Transfers are limited by an amount of time, the amount of time allowed in seconds.
The number of transfers refers exclusively to transfers within your agency's GTFS. It does not take into account transfers to and from other agencies. If no transfers are allowed, but Trips contain in-seat transfer allowed, then this will be overruled.
Example: Fares across the agency are $1.00 for each trip. There are no transfers allowed between Routes. The Green Route is a downtown loop and all its Trips contain in-seat transfer allowed. A rider who boards the Green Route before the end of one loop, and whose Stop is after the start of the next loop, will be shown a fare of $1.00 even though this is across multiple Trips in the GTFS.
Fare Rules define which Trips a Fare will apply to, based on its zones or Route. Any agency with more than one Fare must use Fare Rules to define how those Fares are assigned.
Click Add Rule and define either the start and end Zones, Route, and/or Pass-Through Zone.
Combinable means that the Fare may be combined with other Fares, such as when no transfers are allowed between Routes, but two separate Fares may be combined to cover the cost of a two-Route Trip.
Reversible means that the start and end Zones may be reversed for the same Fare. This ensures a separate Fare Rule is not required for the same two Zones, just in different orders.
Every possible combination of Zones, or every associated Route, must have its own Fare Rule.
